Cut all but one of the flowering branches from the Masterkush. Should be dropping quite a bit in the next few days. I'll let you know.

Had a nice Chat with Gopedxr tonight, thanks for the call.
Here's a few pics of the secondary garden...the 'R&D' yard. Ha.
One of these friggin' Acapulcos just might be starting, I'll know in a week. Sure are pretty, though. Had to bend the big one over.
AG1 starting maybe.jpgAG3.jpgAG1 bent.jpgAG2.jpgAG1.jpgAG1 top.jpgAG3 2.jpg
I took a cut from a friends Gods Gift and just threw it in the ground when I realized I didn't have a proper home for it and that is a 'clone only' strain. Too bad about that, It smells sooo good; I had a small amount of chocolope this spring that smelled like earthy sweet cocoa - the container it was in STILL smells like that. This GG smells that way already. Wish I could keep it going somehow.
This is what I picked off of it tonight.....Damnit.

Thanks JJ!
Not bragging, just excited... My soybeans are doing great!!
I give them what I give the girls every week, should be harvesting them and the black eyeds soon.
I am going to make a real effort this winter to source bulk ingredients for a fertilizer mix that I can use and share.

Had a great weekend, partied mostly but did my due diligence on the ladies.
Sprayed, fed, propped and used up the last of the 100 foot of netting. Shoulda got 2 rolls.
Things are happening fast for about half now, the later ones will start building very soon I'm sure.
The Blue widow with the stem damage (rot, sunburn...whatever it is) is flowering at a crazy rate, I'm guessing it knows it has a problem and is trying to throw a million pistils to reproduce before it dies. It has easily passed it's sister plant. I think its gonna work out.

Also did a little last minute pollen collecting and pollinating for next year. Pics of the others next time...

I hear ya Medi,
I keep saying no more club clones for me but if I can procure one say around feb or march, maybe it could be stabilized by the time it's outdoor planting time. Every clone I planted either stunted for a month or went directly to flowering which slowed them down for at least two.

Looks real nice still not ready though. Or did I miss something? Dirrtyd
This is a bud of the big blue with the ugly damage to the stem. Checking with my RIU dudes to see if it's developing correctly.
Stem looks ugly, LOTS of yellowing fan leaves but bud looks ok to me...I'm hoping the plant makes 3 more weeks before the stem problem gets it. Hasn't even gone cloudy yet.

That buds not ready.

I thought the damage was up closer to the top, around the buds.

Once a bud gets damaged (worms/rot) it only gets worse. You can minimize the damage by taking the damaged buds, right away.

Is the rot/damage at the base? You might need to try 5150's firey torch method!

Good luck bro

I wish the damage was high.
It's about 3" off the ground, still don't know what it is. Might be able to tell after harvest when I can get into the stem and look.
For now, I hope it lives another 3 weeks - my estimate for that plant. Fingers crossed.

Thanks for looking guys.
